A very special and elegant Nero d'Avola from one of the leading organic estates in Sicily, with complex cherry, plum and clove aromas. It's a juicy, velvety red with plenty of inviting freshness and just enough delicate, shaping tannin on the palate.
‘Fabio Sireci’s organic estate in central Sicily produces this high-elevation Nero d’Avola, proof of the quality potential for a native grape that is often undervalued. Lagnusa means lazy, a reference to the slow-ripening, low-yielding old vines. Firm yet fresh, it offers ripe tannins, Mediterranean-inflected blackberry fruit and notes of aromatic woodsmoke with lavender and Darjeeling tea. There's no jamminess here, just ripe fruit and layers of complexity.’ 93/100 Jason Millar, Decanter September 2025
‘This is a contemporary wine that’s light and transparent, with graceful aromas of cooked cherries, iodine, cinnamon and juicy fruit. Full-bodied, it shows delicacy, elegant tannins, crisp acidity and a salty, vibrant aftertaste. From organically grown grapes.’ 93/100 James Suckling April 2025
‘The 2022 Nero d'Avola Lagnusa is perfumed with a fresh mix of wild berries and spices accentuated by hints of blood orange. It's soft-textured and lifted in feel with vibrant acidity and crisp wild berry fruit. The 2022 finishes energetic and pleasantly tart, puckering the cheeks while keeping the mouth watering for more.’ 91/100 Eric Guido, Vinous June 2024
‘Fragrant hints of white peach and bay leaf on the nose lead to a brambly mix of juicy raspberry, strawberry and mulberry fruit in this expressive and well-spiced red, with light, buoyant tannins and notes of wild sage and flowers on the finish. Drink now through 2027.’ 90/100 Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator 44th Wine Spectator 2024 Top 100

Eircodes please
The ideal delivery address has someone available to sign for parcels during office hours, so a work address may be a better choice than a home address. An Eircode eliminates any doubt about the delivery location, and you can find or check Eircodes here.
Phone numbers please
Our couriers do their best to deliver and often have amazing local knowledge, but in the event of difficulties a reliable telephone number for the recipient makes all the difference and is a required piece of information. A mobile number is usually best.
Track your order
When we dispatch your order, we send on a tracking code so that you can follow your order in transit on the courier's website.
Delivery outside Ireland
If you need delivery to Northern Ireland, our €15 standard rate applies, with orders of €150 and more travelling free—for the time being.
We do not generally send wine overseas because of the complicated bureaucratic requirements and very high cost. If you would nonetheless like more information about deliveries outside the island of Ireland, please ask.
Returns
Faulty bottles
Wine is a natural product: its variety is what makes it so interesting!
Sometimes, though, a faulty bottle turns up. It's rare, but it does happen.
We want you to enjoy the wines you buy from us, and we'd like you to enjoy doing business with us too.
If you are unlucky enough to receive a bad bottle, please let us know immediately by calling the office on 021 431 6000 and we'll arrange a replacement or issue a credit in compensation.
Broken or Damaged Deliveries
Despite our best efforts to wrap and pack securely, damage in transit occurs from time to time.
If there's a breakage, our couriers will normally return the whole fragrant mess to us straight away.
If, however, the damage isn't apparent until you open the box, we'd still prefer to have the whole parcel collected. We'll send you a replacement as soon as possible.
